Overview
- Manchester United’s 23-year-old goalkeeper Senne Lammens, a roughly £18m summer signing from Royal Antwerp, moved from the bench to consecutive starts this month.
- He kept a clean sheet on debut against Sunderland, then delivered key saves and pressure‑relieving long distribution in a 2-1 victory at Liverpool.
- The result was United’s first win at Anfield in nearly a decade and their first run of back-to-back league victories under Rúben Amorim.
- Amorim selected Lammens ahead of Altay Bayindir and urged restraint on expectations, noting he is a talented young keeper who is “not Schmeichel yet.”
- Ex‑coach Hayk Milkon said Lammens could become the world’s best and Belgium’s No. 1, while the player stressed blocking out noise and using the win as a platform for momentum.
